Although I have never been one to celebrate Halloween that much, being a fitness instructor has forced me out of my comfort zone. Regardless, I have found myself donning wings, halos or masks and leading classes, routines or running clinics to keep moral high (and plus anyone who knows me, knows I love to celebrate… Read More…
Mantras for Runners
Let’s talk mantras. When I toe up to the starting line of any race, whether it is a speedy 5 km or a torching marathon, if I am not mentally ready for it, I am not ready for the race at all. Of course, there is that irritating fact that the less you dwell on… Read More…
Why Runners Use Compression – CLOSED CONTEST
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I spent mine with friends and headed up to Toronto at one point for a Chris Thile concert.

For The Days You Don’t Want To Run
I thought I would use the rest of the week to tackle some of the common running questions that I get from you.

Should Kids Be Allowed To Run Ultras?

Most of the time, it is quite welcome, as I have never done this whole thing before and having people weigh in with their own experiences is enlightening and relatively helpful. However, I find lines… Read More…
Kombucha and Digestion
I remember the first time that I heard about kombucha. It seemed scary and a little bit weird. I tried growing it in my basement, which is also scary and felt a LOT weird, especially to my mother who left a wide berth when she walked around my fermentation jar. The problem with my short… Read More…
